Title: The free Ustream Plan is going away August 1st 2018
Post by: billydee on June 05, 2018, 05:49:01 PM
Just got an email last night about this. I sort of anticipated a change since Ustream was purchased by IBM a couple years ago. I was hoping to use it just one more time to live stream audio from a local fest in early August. Here's the message they sent-

Come August 1st, 2018, IBM Cloud Video (formerly Ustream) will be sunsetting ad supported free streaming.
As part of this change, your ad supported free account will no longer be able to broadcast or have viewers watch your content.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for you. To keep your videos and access to our streaming platform, please upgrade to a paid plan before August 1. This will also provide you with lots of premium features.
We hope you will upgrade and stay with us. If you decide not to upgrade, be sure to download any remaining videos and data, because you will not be able to use our product starting August 1.


And yes I know, I ought to be using Mixlr anyway....
